It is day 3 of my ongoing effort to install linux on a SunFire T2000 sparc64 machine — i tried 3 different kernels so far all of which told me abort trap.
The only thing that seems to run is Ubuntu Dapper from CD-ROM which is exactely what i’m going to install now. No more fancy debootstrapping, just plain dull Ubuntu.
Funny enough i had compilation problems on recent kernels, abort traps on debian 2.6 kernel-package and 2.6.16.9 but Ubuntu which ships with 2.6.16 seems to work.
I still have no idea how to speed up the console access, but i think i’m getting the glimpse on why Sun distributed those machines preinstalled with Solaris. ;)
My previous blog entry revealed revealed some minor css problems it seems. Still i like the current theme but i guess i’ll have to work on it a bit.
Oh yes talking about typo themes: -> Get them here
This is just a short hint that you might experience kernel compiling problems with 2.6.17-rc5 for sparc64.
